The largest age groups were 20-24 years (48.1%) and 25-30 years (43.4%). Direct observation found that a small indoor poor ventilation room had at 118 people worked in the same shift. The interview with company showed that they could not ensure that their employees could practice health protocol properly, even they had made regulation about mask wearing and provided hand sanitizer.
